Mustapha Kanit Doubles Through Ronald Connor

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Mustapha Kanit
Mustapha Kanit

Ronald Connor raised to 5,200 from middle position and Adrian Attenborough called from the hijack. Mustapha Kanit was in the cutoff and moved all in for his last 44,700. Connor went into the tank for about a minute and decided to move all in for 49,800. Attenborough quickly got out of the way.

Kanit was at risk but ahead with {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}, up against Connor's {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} and Kanit doubled through, leaving Connor with just 5,100 chips.

As Kanit was stacking chips he smiled and looked over at chip leader David Coleman and said, "That was an important one. Now I need to win one from you and I'll be happy."
